BFA ’21 Animation/Interactive Design

I have a long-standing fascination with fantasy and fiction creatures and a want to explore something that’s always interested me since introduced in childhood stories. Fairytales and Myths have been recreated and passed around, and reimagined. What makes a fairytale creature harmless, and what makes them malicious? Do we see these creatures as cute because it’s what we’ve been told? I want to express my own interpretations, continuing this tradition in my way, retelling and reimagining stories that people have and continue to hold dear.

I prefer animation as a medium because the pipeline is a combination of artistic disciplines. Animation itself, to me, feels more flexible; it’s easy to make changes and can be used to create things that are unfilmable. Animation is always changing and constantly improving.
